Are there any "cons" to a rotary vise?????? If so, what are they???
Some rotaries have no, or limited, means to immobilize the head in
one, or more, fixed positions -- this can be frustrating. Some true
rotaries have limited access to the rear of the hook, such as the
Norvise (that has this by design) and some poorly designed cheap
ones. This takes some getting used to.
Also, I see these vises that have a stand instead of the "C" clamp
to clamp them to the table...Do these not fall over sometimes when
you are pulling a material real tight???
Depends on the weight and size of the base, but yes, eventually any
baseplate vice is less stable than the corresponding C-clamp model.
If so, when shopping for one, do you just try to get the one with
the heaviest base you can get??? Thanks, Chuck
No you get one with the heaviest baseplate AND a C-clamp...
